Is ICANN losing control over their single DNS Root?
An "old" article from April 7
i don't remember reading this before - and i certainly don't remember reading about the Arabic split root...
While ICANN dithered, groups in China and in Arabic speaking countries went ahead with experiments in IDNs for Chinese and Arabic, and set up experimental parallel root zones with names in the local character sets. These experiments worked (no surprise, Unicode and punycode are technically sound) and now those roots are the roots that everyone in those countries use.
